November 2023 at a glance

Welcome to November, the Scorpio season!

The eclipse season ended with the partial lunar eclipse that occurred on October 28th. We will still feel the aftermath of its energies until the spring of next year, but the closure of one chapter is now complete.

Check out the chat with Hannah about the astrology of famous horror writers, Stephen King and John Carpenter.

The month of November starts with Saturn in Pisces stationing to go direct on November 4th after his retrograde period from June 17th. This will put some things into motion again after we've experienced some delays, restrictions, and limitations. Mutuable signs - Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, and Virgo - might find this as a sign of relief.

Asteroid Vesta in Cancer will station retrograde on November 2nd, inviting us to revise our home, body, and workspace to make it more comfortable and nurturing.

New Moon this month will be on November 13th in Scorpio. It will be an intense New Moon, with many planets in Scorpio - Moon, Sun, Mars, and asteroid Ceres. With Mars in the picture very closely to the Sun, opposing Uranus, we might witness and experience many power struggles, accidents, and unexpected aggressive behavior. Venus in Libra will make a good aspect to Mercury, bringing some ease to communication and hope for peaceful and harmonious resolutions.

A full Moon in Gemini will happen on November 27th. With many planets now in Sagittarius - Sun, Mars, Mercury, and Ceres, this full moon brings us excitement and vision for a better future. It can also bring some exaggerated stories, so please use your discernment with the information you receive.  

1. Venus will move to her home sign of Libra on November 8th, helping us ease the tension from the intensity of eclipses. Just a couple of days prior she will trine Pluto (November 6th), announcing the desire for transformation. Her opposition to Neptune at the beginning of the month (November 3rd) might lead us to delusion as we might forget to take the pink glasses off. At the end of the month, on November 29th, she will conjunct the South Node, asking us to release the relationships and values that don't serve us anymore.
2. Mercury will find its way to Sagittarius on November 10th, making a hard aspect with Saturn. Our desire to expand and grow is put to the test again. We might need to wait until November 15th when Mercury makes a lovely aspect with Venus to express ourselves and open our minds to new possibilities. End of the month, after Mercury trines the North Node on November 26th, he will square Neptune on the 27th. Our intention to speak our minds might be clouded by the fogginess of Neptune, making communication with others unclear.
3. Pallas Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom will change signs from Libra to Scorpio. Great opportunity for strategic planning and creating blueprints of our dreams and vision.
4. Sun will move to Sagittarius on November 23rd creating a hard aspect with Saturn. Our path might face some obstacles, and we might feel more frustrated than usual. Mid-month, on November 18th, the Sun and Mars in Scorpio will meet starting a new two-year cycle. It's a power combination, used well it can be very productive, if used badly, it can be very destructive. On the most intense day of the month, be aware of these energies and use them wisely.
5. Mars will join the Sun and Mercury in Sagittarius on November 24th, bringing some optimism and joy after the intensity of the previous days. Energies are now shifted towards expansion and growth. Full speed ahead!
6. Ceres, the Goddess of Nurturing, will be the last to join Sagittarius. Time to learn, travel, and nurture our souls by exploring other cultures and sharing wisdom.

November will be easier than October, especially with the shift of energies in the last 10 days of the month. Watch out for power struggles and make plans for the brighter future ahead :)

Have a peaceful and inspiring month!
